Hey there, neighbor! I hope you’re having a good day. Let’s catch up on what went down in Abilene yesterday. It was quite a mix of community news, starting with a pretty significant conversation about the future of journalism. Perry Sook, the CEO of Nexstar Media Group, sat down with our local digital anchor, Brittany Pelletz. They chatted about how technology is shaping the news landscape, which is not just fascinating for those in media but also for all of us who rely on local news to stay connected. It’s always interesting to hear insights from someone at the top, especially as we navigate these rapid changes.

In other news, there was a bit of a shake-up in the political scene as Eddie Pugh announced he would be stepping back from the race for Texas Representative District 71. He cited some personal life changes that prompted his decision. It’s always tough to see a candidate withdraw, especially when they’ve been part of the conversation, but it sounds like he’s making the right choice for himself. We wish him all the best as he focuses on what matters most right now.
